Good Morning:  Well cold morning waking up here in Port Loring Ontario.  Temperatures were sitting at -34.8 C | -26.24 F.

Forecast For Today:  Fairly fine, improving with lots of sunshine moving into the area.  Will remain cold throughout the day warming up a touch for tomorrow.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 has been ploughed but is covered with hard packed snow throughout.  There are icy sections so care should be taken if travelling.

Ice Fishing Times;  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then again a bit later from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck.

Around Town:  With this cold most folks are staying inside.  Coldest day of the year is upon us this morning.  The long range though calls for some cold weather but not as severe as today.  Which is OK by me.  Seems the older I get the less I like the cold.  The sunny south say Florida has a bit more appeal to it.   On another note that was quite a snow fall we had the day before yesterday. I would say we had almost a foot and even more  in some locations.  Took me the best part of the morning to get the driveway cleaned up.  Didn’t need to go for a walk for any exercise after that.  Today being so cold I will work on some inside projects. Now heading off for a turmeric tea. Very good for what ails ya.  Try one sometime.   So my friends, stay warm and safe.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
